That's the plan. I am sending SWMBO on vacation next week to see her daughter in Texas, so I will have to save pennies up for awhile before I can get a wand and stand. It would be fun to do a comparison review.

NEW replacement iron: Easybraid Shp-1 (replaces Metcal MX-RM3E; this or MX-RM3E usually run ~$100 on the street). Good deal if you can grab one before the seller runs out.
Stands: MX-WS4 (discontinued), current
WS1, or Thermaltronics
SHH-5 (new, either runs ~$65). Or if you've something laying around (i.e. metal coil type), you could figure out how to add a pair of magnets to enable the auto-setback/sleep feature.
I'd even see if the SHP-1/RM3E fits the Hakko 936's stand.
And then there's ye olde coffee cup...
Hint, hint: $60 & a tip = you're off to the races (time to start a donation fund or crowd fund?).
I am going to have to go back to the surplus place. They had a bunch of stands by the PSU's, but I don't know what kind. I didn't pay attention as they didn't have any wands. I feel my arm being twisted up behind my back to visit again.

BTW, would this be the particular surplus store on Fairbanks, right off of I-4?

So it's bread and water for a day or two....
Bench meter from Kev, solder from RS. They should rename this EEVbroke.forum ........

Any chance it has a boot cycle counter?
i bought a mirror yesterday

Nice, can it hang?
I got 3 baby jelly doughnuts, milk and a med slurpee.

No, actually, this is a new store in New Smyrna Beach, the next town over from me called Planet Surplus. Definitely reminds one of that particular store.
Doing some further checking, I found a problem with the second RF connector. I am going to start a new thread in the repair section. At least channel 1 works fine.

On its way from Franky...
I have the same thermometer, also bought from Franky. I might have been one of the first to buy one.
HP 8590A Spectrum Analyzer. It's drifty, but it's cheap and works!

Are you happy with it?
Is it accurate in the solder paste melt range?
Received a ChipWhisperer Lite, I am going to have to do a lot of reading to get the best out of this puppy!
After waiting at least a month on backorder, finally able to order one of these. Due Saturday.
Simply a nice general purpose bluetooth serial link. It's ability to pass on a 'reset' DTR signal (actually it's just a general purpose digital output pin under PC user's COM channel control.
Used with an arduino type board this output pin can force a reset condition on the micro allowing the bootloader to activate for wireless 'sketch' downloads. Now your mobile robot can have it's brain reloaded wirelessly on the run.
I wonder if Windows 10 upgrade will be compatible with? Hope for the best.

I haven't tested it for accuracy, but it seems to be pretty consistent between the two thermocouples. If you take them together they are generally less than +/-0.2 counts away from each other, generally about 0.1 count away.
I will post a quick teardown, along with the current consumption when I get home on the weekend.
HP 5371A Frequency and Time Interval Analyzer w/ two 54003A from Fleabay for $200.00 + $49.74 Shipping. I've got some FE5680 Rb Standards, a NTBW50AA GPSTM, and (recently thanks to the forum), a Lucent RFTG-u REF0, REF1 package. When I started, it was easy - the Rb was correct
. But then I got a second Rb and suddenly I no longer knew what time it was
. So I picked up the NTBW50 to resolve the issue.... well that just made things worse
. Probably what I need is another GPSDO to finally clear all this up
. When the recent thread on precision timing references popped up I scored the Lucent RTFG setup for $100 (Shortly after they jumped up to $200 then a little while later they dropped it to $150.00. Glad I scored it @ $100). I finally concluded that the more precision clocks I have the less certain I am about what the correct time is. So, now I'm hoping that purchasing the 5371a will provide the ability to finally resolve my personal dilemma of what time is it
.
Special thanks to Ed Palmer for afflicting me with this nonsensical pursuit of determining when it's time to feed the cat aka Timenut
. You Voltnuts stay the hell away from me

Nice score Marc. I contemplated a 5371 a few years ago, but something looking like an o-scope appears suspicious.
